Without the letting go, that is how I collect Eva reports at different atmospheric levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdJ Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 @Caerfinon If you do this at very high speeds in a plane with the intakes behind the hatch, make sure to build a little cage backstop around the door to stop your Kerbal sliding off. A Kerbal being sucked in the intake and pureed by the engine, causes all sorts of problems, and if you manage to land then the green splattered all over the back of the plane will never fully clean off.

SirBlob Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Well I searched my KSP screenshot folder and found some old screenshots: I wanted to share them because I think they look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymcgoochie Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Landed on Vall, twice. There was nothing wrong with the first landing as such, but the game did that weird “can’t save can’t pause can’t type the flag message” thing and I had to reboot. Despite landing and returning without the waiting orbital stage managing to complete half an orbit, 22% radiation exposure arriving at Vall, 30ish percent when I left- and 87% by the time I got out of Jool’s radiation belts, which then went up to 97% after a brief dip into the outer edge during the return trip to the mothership in Jool orbit. I had to burn onto an escape trajectory out of Jool then re-capture just to escape the Death ZoneTM quickly enough, but that’s all five moons of Jool landed on and a significant mass of stuff that I no longer need to lug around everywhere with me.

Cavscout74 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 @SirBlob Those are very cool, thanks for sharing! Only got off one launch today, a freshly unlocked Kerbin survey satellite. Launched from Woomerang atop a 1.875m Dawngrazer launcher with a Schnauzer-powered upper stage: Once clear of the atmosphere the solar panels, antennas & scanner deploy once the fairing is clear: Orbital insertion is finished with the satellite's monoprop engine while the spent upper stage is deorbited with sepratrons: Of course the 2200 ec on board wasn't actually enough to complete a scan of Kerbin.

JadeOfMaar Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Guardians of the Galaxy intensified last night. This little thing can VTOL and SSTO. But it only holds two and has a hard time with yaw and landing vertically. As you will see where I tried landing and got rekt on the comms mast at the Darude space center.

The ship's handling is horrible when trying to land precisely. If I tried landing horizontal, things would be better. I wanted to land on a helipad halfway across the base but I drifted over there against my will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araym Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Today: ... I'm near to finish my conversion of the "IXS Warpship" to Angel-125's "Blueshift" warping mod. Thanks to Angel-125 himself that created a little add-on for his mod, I'm just in the phase of tweaking some FXs prior a public release: ... but also, as the original NASA concept one was called "IXS Enterprise", I made my own: ORIGINAL REFERENCE: MINE: Pretty similar, isn't it?????

ColdJ Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Flying aircraft carrier that takes off from the runway, has it's own plane docked, cruises level at about 75m/s, Plane undocks and takes off like on a regular carrier. No problems as long as in KSP persistence range. fly around and land back on flying carrier deck no problems (though rather surreal) Carefully controlled sliding back along deck to re-dock with the carrier. Carrier will happily land in and take off from water. https://kerbalx.com/ColdJ/The-Valkerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Testing the limits of breaking ground and the building from the last update there seems to be some small bug when building the satellite with parts not alligning properly, but otherwise it seems to be working way better than I expected.
